Motivated to allow efficient ballistic missiles defense, the paper describes a recently developed integrated estimation/guidance design paradigm based on several innovative concepts that provides robust satisfactory homing performance against randomly maneuvering targets. The new paradigm was developed and tested first by using a simplified planar constant speed interception scenario model. In this paper the integrated estimation/guidance algorithm is validated by simulations of generic endo-atmospheric theatre ballistic missile defense interception scenarios against two types of stressing random target maneuvers.
